Choose individually wrapped stroopwafels if every guest at your Christmas food event should be able to take one sealed waffle. A twin pack is only suitable if two waffles per serving work for you. With either option, check the number of sealed portions, the best-before date and the current allergen information on the label.
At a welcome table or during a treat break, you’ll want every visitor to be able to take one sealed stroopwafel. So look specifically for individually wrapped waffles: a box containing several waffles doesn’t necessarily mean each one is wrapped separately. Daelmans lists individually wrapped options in several sizes.
A mini stroopwafel could be a good choice if you’d like to serve a smaller biscuit. Jumbo describes one mini option as individually wrapped, but the word ‘mini’ doesn’t guarantee this for other packs.
If your guests have allergies or intolerances, check the label of the exact product you’ll be serving. For a Daelmans Duopack, PLUS lists ingredients including wheat, cereals containing gluten, soya and milk. Don’t assume the same ingredients apply to other stroopwafels.
First decide how many waffles you want in each sealed portion. Then choose the size and number of portions to suit your plans, and check the label on your chosen pack before serving.
Choose this if: every guest should be able to take one sealed waffle. Daelmans lists individually wrapped stroopwafels in several sizes.
Bear in mind: waffle size and quantity vary by pack. Count the sealed portions, not just the weight of the box.
Choose this if: two waffles make a suitable portion, for example if guests can share them.
Bear in mind: a twin pack isn’t suitable if you want to give every guest exactly one sealed waffle. Joybuy’s product information describes Kanjers Original as being wrapped in pairs.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who should consider this? |
|---|---|---|
| One sealed waffle per guest | Look for ‘individually wrapped’ or ‘x1’ and count the individual wrappers. | If I want to give each visitor one waffle, I need a sealed portion that doesn’t have to be split first. For around 42% of consumers, that single portion is the top priority. |
| Allergens and labelling | Read the ingredients, allergen information and any warnings on the current label of the product you’ve chosen. | If any guests have allergies, I want to be able to see what’s in these exact stroopwafels before serving them. Around 33% of consumers give checking the label top priority. |
| Size and number of portions | Compare the waffle size, number of sealed portions, best-before date and availability from your chosen retailer. | For a coffee break or a planned number of visitors, I want to buy the right size and enough portions to hand out. This is the most important consideration for around 25% of consumers. |
